    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Granzyme C Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total Granzyme C protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Mouse

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val190 of mouse Granzyme C protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Granzymes are a family of serine proteases expressed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells and are key components of immune responses to pathogens and transformed cells (1). In mice, ten family members have been identified: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, K, M, and N (2). Granzymes are synthesized as zymogens and are processed into mature enzymes by cleavage of a leader sequence. They are released by exocytosis in lysosome-like granules containing perforin, a membrane pore-forming protein (3). Granzyme C is the closest murine homolog of human Granzyme H and is located directly downstream of GzmB (4). Granzyme C has been demonstrated to induce cell death with a similar potency as Granzyme B, and CTLs from mice with reduced expression of Granzyme C and F display diminished cytotoxicity (5). Granzyme C has been identified as a marker for type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) exhibiting cytotoxic effector function in addition to ‘helper-like’ function (6). These cells have been shown to regulate antitumor immunity and autoimmunity in mouse models (6).
